After twenty years in the art and interior design industry I was completely hooked on the clay process when I was exposed to an open studio environment. This evolved into having my own studio and fifteen years later my enthusiasm for this medium continues! 

All of my work is hand-built from slab, using various stoneware clay bodies. Both visual and tactile texture is always a driving force, along with the added form clay allows.  The pairing of deliberate intention combined with inevitable surprise is so very compelling as each piece unveils itself and reveals its own unique quality. 

I’d describe my style as ‘abstract/organic’. There is a strong contemporary feel to my work yet through organic material, texture or the irregularity of shape, a hint of the natural always plays its part making for an interesting juxtaposition.

Born in Wyoming, raised in Minnesota and educated in the field of Interior Design at the U of M, I have over thirty years of sales, marketing and buying experience for art galleries and Interior Designers. I was willingly pulled into this role as an artist which has shown me countless rewards. All these years later I have added Arizona as a winter home and my work is displayed nationally in both residential and public settings!  Grateful!
